Anubias Barteri var. Nana Mbuna M – Mopani Root Decorated with Anubias for Tropical Aquariums
Anubias Barteri var. Nana Mbuna M is a natural decorative element made from a sanded Mopani root sourced from southern Africa, featuring one attached Anubias barteri var. nana. This medium-sized root is ideal for medium aquariums, adding structure and depth thanks to the rich texture and strong form of Mopani wood, renowned for its durability in both aquariums and terrariums.
Over time, the plant develops hanging roots resembling vines, enhancing the visual appeal and mimicking a miniature jungle tree. The Anubias grows slowly, tolerates low light, and is perfect for aquariums that require minimal maintenance. This version works beautifully alone or combined with Mbuna S and L sizes for a balanced aquascaping composition.
